Business owners have hit out at Bradford Council after being told to take down sandwich boards advertising their premises.

Shops and businesses in Belmont Avenue, Low Moor have until Thursday to remove the A-frame boards from a grassy area in Cleckheaton Road, which they say are needed to inform customers of their location.

Kirsty Murch, owner of Seymour’s Cutting Room, said the business would be hit if the board was taken down as customers would struggle to find the salon.

She said: “I have a lot of customers who come from all over so if anybody’s recommended us then it will be difficult for them to find us, unless they have got satnav."
